The Aequi took up arms, and the Veientines made depredations on Roman territory. Amidst the growing anxiety about these wars Caeso Fabius and Sp. Furius were made consuls. The Aequi were attacking Ortona, a Latin city; the Veientines, laden with plunder, were now threatening to attack Rome itself. This alarming condition of affairs ought to have restrained, whereas it actually increased, the hostility of the plebs, and they resumed the old method of refusing military service.

There is a difficulty about Hortinae classes, as the town of Horta stood on the Etruscan side of the Tiber, and the adj. would naturally be Hortanus (Dict. G. Horta). Possibly there may be some confusion with the Fortineii, who are enumerated by Dionys. 5. 61 among the cities of the Latin league, and are identified by some with the Hortenses, perhaps the people of Ortona, mentioned in Pliny's list (3. 5 &c.), of the extinct communities of Latium. Comp. foedus, hoedus, fordus, hordus &c. This would agree with the mention of the populi Latini here, and would not be inconsistent with the occurrence of Allia in the next line.
